Other possibilities: ROUST (unused), ROOST (Wordle 1703, too recent), and FIRST (Wordle 56, prime recycling territory). Figured BURST or FIRST guaranteed a 4, went with the previously unused choice. Still a bit surprised it wasn’t FIRST, it’s been >2 weeks since the last recycled solution.

LIVEN → Opening whiff, which sets up an outstanding first word second
ROAST → Now that’s what I’m talkin; about! Still no vowels. If the R is in second, it could be CRUST or
TRYST → Probably should have gone with CRUST. Anyway, now it’s ?URST, which (barring the archaic CURST) should be
BURST
DURST, HURST or WURST were also out there, and the last might even be valid. So probably not an optimal par, but really close to Scoredle’s recommendations - heck, my followup was an anagram of the algorithm’s preferred guess. Scoredle gets a birdie, which could have been a bogey if one of the two possibles that had the last four letters of the solution in the first four slots had in fact been the solution.

Could’ve also been WRYLY (almost went with that), GIRLY, or RILLY; BURLY, DRILL, FRILL, GRILL, KRILL, and LURID had already been used, none early enough to make them likely candidates for reuse.
